THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL ON MY VEHICLE, NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 20V088 KIA RECALL NUMBER SC186. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN OPEN SINCE APRIL 8, OVER A MONTH NOW, AND HAS A CHANCE OF THE VEHICLE CATCHING FIRE SO IT MUST BE PARKED AWAY FROM MY HOUSE. ON A PREVIOUS RECALL OF CHEVROLET, WHICH JUST HAD A CHANCE OF THE KEY COMING LOSE FROM THE IGNITION, A DIFFERENT VEHICLE WAS PROVIDED WHILE THE RECALL WAS BEING REMEDIED. I FEEL THAT THIS RECALL IS MORE SEVERE THAN THAT ONE AND AFTER A MONTH ITS A HUGE INCONVENIENCE TO HAVE TO PARK MY CAR IN THE STREET AWAY FROM MY HOUSE. *TR

MY 2006 KIA SEDONA MINIVAN HAS AN INTERMITTENT FAILURE CAUSING IT NOT TO START. ALL ELECTRICAL WORKS EXCEPT THE ENGINE & STARTER. TURN THE KEY TO START & IT DOES NOT TURN OVER. THE AUTOMOTIVE MECHANICAL TERM USED TO DESCRIBE THIS CONDITION IS "NO CRANK". THE STARTER & ENGINE REMAIN OFF. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS IT STARTS AFTER 5-30 MINUTES. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS & THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE &/OR REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE IS SO WIDE SPREAD THAT THERE IS A YOUTUBE WEBSITE DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM & OFFERING A SOLUTION WITH OVER 96,000 VIEWS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM UNLESS THEY CAN DUPLICATE THE MALFUNCTION AT THE TIME OF THE SERVICE VISIT. MOTORISTS ARE HAVING TO ENDURE REPEATED BREAKDOWNS WITHOUT REMEDY. THERE IS NO KNOWN PROCEDURE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM USING EMERGENCY SERVICE WHEN THE EVENT OCCURS. HYUNDAI ALSO HAS THE IDENTICAL ISSUE IN THEIR MINI VANS AS WELL. BOTH MODELS ARE BUILT AS A JOINT VENTURE BETWEEN KIA & HYUNDAI. PLEASE REQUIRE THEM TO ISSUE A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THE YOUTUBE WEBSITE WHERE THIS PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND IS AT: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/RESULTS?SEARCH_QUERY=2006+KIA+SEDONA+NO+CRANK+NO+START .

THE BACK FRAME OF MY 2006 KIA SEDONA IS ALL CORRODED. CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR ANY MORE. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN NOV-2006 AND IN DECEMBER 2011 I HAD TO CHANGE THE FRONT FRAME DUE TO CORROSION. IN MARCH 2014, I HAD TO CHANGE THE FRONT SUSPENSION DUE TO CORROSION AND NOW THE BACK FRAME IS ALL CORRODED. I WOULD LIKE THAT SOMEONE REALLY CHECK ON KIIA'S MATERIALS. IS INCREDIBLY THAT AFTER 5 YEARS I HAD TO CHANGE THE FRONT FRAME. AND UP TODAY'S DAY. I HAVE THE SAME CORROSION ISSUE. I LEAVE IN NEW JERSEY AND I KNOW THAT IN THE WINTER, THERE IS LOTS OF SALT ON THE STREETS BUT I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PROBLEM LIKE THIS ON ANY OTHER BRAND. THIS ISSUE GOES DIRECTLY TO THE SAFETY OF THE CAR.

AFTER WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK (ALMOST 2 HOURS) WE GOT HOMETESTED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. AUTO ADVANCE TOLD ME BOTH WERE GOOD. EVERY FUSE IN THE FUSE BOX WAS BURNED OUT.

ON THE MORNING OF THE INCIDENT I DROVE TO WORK (APPROX 25 MILES) AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH WITH NO INCIDENT. AFTER PARKING I ENTERED MY WORKPLACE. DURING LUNCH I GOT IN THE VEHICE AND BEGAN TO TRAVEL TO A NEARBY REASTAURANT. I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN THE VHEICLE'S HOOD BECAME UNLATCHED AND OPENED. THE HOOD OPENED WITH SUCH FORCE THAT THE HOOD LIFT STRUT SUPPORTS BROKE, ALLOWING THE HOOD TO OPEN, OVER EXTEND, OBSTRUCT MY VISION, AND STRIKE THE WINDSHIELD. UPON STRIKING THE WINDSHIELD THE GLASS SHATTERED. I SLOWLY PULLED TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT, TOOK A PICTURE WITH MY PHONE,AND CLOSED THE HOOD. I LATER CALLED KIA CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-333-4542 AND REPORTED THE INCIDENT. I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER OF 13015302. I WAS ADVISED TO PROCEED TO AN AUTHORIZED KIA DEALEARSHIP AND BE SEEN FOR NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V-389. IF THE LATCH WAS FAULTY, I WAS TOLD THAT KIA WOULD COVER THE COSTS OF REPAIRS. WHEN THE DEALERSHIP WAS CALLED, I WAS ASSURED THAT THERE WERE NOT RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE, WHEN TO THE CONTRARY, I WAS SENT A RECALL DOCUMENT SC134 FROM KIA CASE WORKER, BILLY WELLS. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. I DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR THE APPOINTMENT. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 4 HRS THE LOCAL KIA DEALERSHIP SERVICED THE VEHICLE AND PRODUCED PAPER WORK STATING THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE EQUIPMENT.

THE DRIVER'S SEAT BECAME UNSECURED ON THE FRONT SIDE, SO ONLY THE REAR OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS SECURED IN PLACE. IF I LEAN BACK OR ACCELERATE QUICKLY THE ENTIRE SEAT TILTS BACK. INITIALLY THIS OCCURRED WHEN I WAS STOPPED, AS I LEANED BACK TO REACH INTO MY POCKET TO GRAB MY WALLET. BUT NOW IT WON'T REFASTEN, SO IT OCCURS WHEN STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.
